You can make it yourself fairly easily I guess:

    const awaitAll = Promise.all.bind(Promise);

    async function foo() {
        var [val1, val2] = await awaitAll([func1, func1]);
    }
It isn't ideal but it's a little cleaner

+1. I'm a big fan of top level function binds to remove boilerplate and keep code readable:

  const log = console.log.bind(console), 
    query = document.querySelector.bind(document),
    queryAll = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

You don't need to bind `console.log` by the way (at least not in any recent version of Node.js or browsers).

  await all([fn1, fn2]) ;)
i wonder when we will get s-expressions for function calls

  (awaitAll [fn1, fn2])

Just write (iced) coffeescript, s-exp are totally valid there:

Yeah, s-exps are the only thing I miss :(
